Diane Tegarden
My name is Diane Tegarden, a freelance writer living in Pasadena, with my husband, three cats and a dog.
I've been a print journalist since 1992, writing on a wide range of subjects including; renewable energy, environmental concerns, holistic health, women’s issues, and Native Spirituality. My work has been found in: The Pasadena Star News, Security Sales Magazine, The Pasadena Weekly, The Solar Flare, The Feral Forest, Earth Luvyrs Calendar, The Daily Sundial, the West Coast Well Being, Associated Content and Health Breakthroughs.
In April 2004, I self-published my first book, “Getting Out Of Limbo– A Self Help Divorce Book For Women,” which provides step by step instructions on how to achieve financial and emotional independence in preparation for a divorce.
FireWalker Publications Inc. was formed in 2004 to promote my passionate, original written works, materials, ideas and creations. Since 2005, I’ve been writing for an online content producer, Associated Content, and wrote three freelance articles for Health Breakthroughs, a trade publication for Irwin Naturals. To date I have published three books; one paperback and two ebooks which can all be found on my website.
I released my first poetry e-book, "Light Through Shuttered Window" in December 2007; it’s a compendium of my poetry about life, love and the creative process. If you'd like to sample a taste of the book, please stop by and visit my website.
In February 2008 I completed my third book, “Anti-Vigilante and The Rips in Time”, a science fiction novel set in the distant future, involving Senselles, MagicoMathematicians and the MOB. One of the scientific highlights features OTEC, a renewable energy that dynamically changes the face of the planet.
My interests/hobbies include: gardening flowers, trees, vegetables and herbs, whatever I fancy for the season. I love to write letters and compose cards to friends and family, and do crossword puzzles to relax. My husband and I watch lots of movies; we have a large collection and are constantly adding to it.

“Getting OUT of Limbo- A Self Help Divorce Book for Women,” provides step by step instructions on how to achieve financial and emotional independence, in preparation for a divorce. It discusses many types of divorce, and has a special section on how to get out of an abusive relationship.
With financial information on spousal support, child support, and community property issues, the reader can figure out where her finances stand. There are also checklists of questions for an attorney, or accountant, should you need one. Other forms help the reader to assess her own situation (strengths, weaknesses and obstacles), and assists her in planning for her family’s future.
The book is based on the author’s experiences, research and writing on women’s issues, as opposed to being presented from a legal standpoint. In user-friendly language, she discusses issues that are generally not found in other self-help divorce books; such as how to accomplish one’s goals, and how to attain a decent lifestyle after struggling through a divorce and/or an abusive relationship.
